Not much there for the GA draw. Best option may be a Heroes For Hire, but that seems much better suited to TV. I believe if Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is a success, it may pave the road for future TV serials and HfH may be on that list.

As it stands, the best teams are already on the screen; for MCU The Avengers; Fox has X-Men and Fantastic Four. That's about it for a mainstream/GA draw.

I forgot, there is one team that has tremendous potential if marketed and written properly.....Alpha Flight.

I agree with that.

In terms of superhero teams of Marvel - X-Men, Fantastic Four and Avengers are their most marketable and I feel like they are the only superhero teams that could draw a lot of people.

And I don't believe this "look at Iron Man's success" argument. Even if Iron Man wasn't an A-list superhero to casual audience before his movie was released, he's definitely an A-list property to Marvel Comics. I don't think I can say that to Guardians of the Galaxy, Inhumans, Runaways, Thunderbolts.

Iron Man still doesn't sell that much comics even with #1 films. Guardians 1 sold twice as much as his.

Can't wait till GOTG comes out so this debate on new properties being successful can end.

Watchmen made practically 200m WW with a divisive crowd and R rating. And the other two you mentioned were regarded as being bad films with under 50% approval ratings and not having strong marketting in general. And sometimes even the badly reviewed ones make money, Green Hornet and Ghost Rider made cash.

Blade, The Crow, Kick Ass, Sin City, 300, Chronicle (I know its not an adaptation but its a new super power movie), Hancock, Iron Man and Hellboy all did fine. If a movie looks cool and marketting does their job and makes the audience aware, then people will see it.
